It was a fun day at the Nevada State Fair in Reno. The double open rabbit shows were held in the livestock pavilion. There were exhibits of horse, dogs, chickens, ducks, peafowl, geese, ... and the most famous Weenie Dog contest.

Betty won all breed Best In Show with her English Angora white senior doe Chu's Swanka in both show A and B. At 8-1/2 months old, Swanka has won all breed Best In Show five times and specialty Best In Show three times so far. Most of Betty's Best In Show winners start their winning after 9 months old. Swanka's littermate sister Susie also has done some Best In Show winnings.

Chris won Reserve In Show with the same Mini Lop. It's a very nice representation of the breed.
